The
Simpson family has been reeling ever since news broke of Papa Joe
Simpson’s gay sex scandal in October, but the minister-turned-manager
tweeted that he was in fact spending the holidays with his family.

Though the 52-year-old has not been photographed in Hawaii, he has written three posts saying otherwise.

Covered in sand: Ashlee was a sandy mess and didn't seem to care in the least because she was having too good a time

Catch me if you can: Ashlee had a ball playing chase with her pals

Joe wrote after posting: 'Wonderful Christmas. Spending special time and I am going to be a papa again!! Blessing from above. Spending Xmas wish Ashlee. Best if times.'

The reality starlet is currently working on her fourth studio album, which she describes as 'a little soulful, a little electronic' with Grammy-winning producer John Shanks.

Ashlee also recently shot the film Pawn Shop Chronicles in Baton Rouge.

The action-comedy, due out next year, stars Elijah Wood, Paul Walker, Brendan Fraser, and Matt Dillon.
